The career you’ve been looking for, now with a new name
The role previously advertised as Disability Assessor is now known as Functional Assessor, but the purpose remains the same: helping people access the support they need by using your clinical expertise in a new way.
At Advo, you’ll benefit from a competitive salary, a structured work schedule with no night or weekend shifts, and a clinically led environment that offers training, development, and the flexibility to make life outside of work a priority too.
Your career with us will be built around you. We offer award-winning clinical training resources that can help you to grow as a healthcare professional.
With a mix of working from a clinic location and home, you will be meeting claimants in person and virtually. You will be part of a team of Functional Assessors across the country, as well as a larger community of around 300 like-minded healthcare professionals.
If you are a Nurse, Physiotherapist, Paramedic, Occupational Therapist or Pharmacist please visit our new Functional Assessor page to learn more about the role.
